LASER VAGINAL REJUVENATION TREATMENT
REJUVENATE YOUR VAGINA AND
ENJOY DAILY ACTIVITIES AGAIN.
SUMMARY
This laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment has a photothermal heating effect on collagen in both the vaginal walls and the urinary conduit (urethra) which causes restructuring and regrowth of the collagen. This results in thickening and tightening of the vaginal walls and urinary tract (urethra) to improve atrophy, dryness, and laxity, as well as to prevent urine loss.

The laser has aphotothermal heating effect on collagen in both the vaginal walls and the urinary conduit (urethra), which causes restructuring and regrowth of the collagen. This results in thickening and tightening of the vaginal walls and urethra toimprove atrophy, dryness, laxity, and prevent urine loss. To achieve satisfactory results, the patients usually need 3 treatments one month apart.
95% of women indicate that they experience a more than moderate level of vaginal tightening as well as an improved lubrication which can improve sexual experience.
Medical studies have also concluded that 94% of women reported that stress urinary incontinence improved significantly after 120 days and 68% were completely dry and free of stress urinary incontinence 120 days after the treatments.
A special attachment, similar to a speculum as used during a pap test, is inserted into the vagina, during which the entire vaginal region is treated with short laser pulses through a small hand piece. The entire procedure is extremely well-tolerated by patients.
You can leave immediately after the procedure and continue your daily routine. There may be some minimal sensitivity after the procedure and a transparent discharge for 2-3 days afterwards. Heavy lifting or sexual intercourse is not recommended for 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
Patients that suffer from laxity of the vagina wall, dryness, and atrophy of the vagina (which can be sometimes accompanied with pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse) can benefit from vaginal laser rejuvenation.
Vaginal relaxation syndrome (VRS) is defined as laxity of the vaginal wall. It can result in loss of friction and sexual satisfaction for both a woman and her partner. The most common cause of vaginal relaxation is overstretching of the vaginal wall during childbirth, which can increase with the number of births. Vaginal atrophy refers to the thinning of the wall of the vagina that often occurs post menopause due to lack of estrogen and is associated with vaginal dryness.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem in women that causes the involuntary loss of urine during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical exertion such as running or climbing stairs. The cause for this involuntary loss of urine is the weakening of the urethral closure mechanism, which is the result of changes in the pelvic floor region. The main contributing factors are vaginal child birth, obesity, and aging. Vaginal rejuvenation treatments can promote a great improvement in SUI symptoms for women.
The laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment is specific to the area of the vagina and the urinary tract (urethra).
This simple, non-surgical, 30 minute, in-office procedure is highly effective, pain-free, and safe. You can leave immediately after the procedure and continue your daily routine.
To keep the results achieved by this laser treatment, we recommend to our patients to come back for an annual maintenance treatment.
Until now, stress urinary incontinence was treated non-invasively through muscular training, known as Kegel exercises, which are only marginally effective since they rely on daily compliance. Stress urinary incontinence is also treated invasively with a surgical implant known as a Urethral Sling. This procedure requires hospitalization, recovery time and could potentially cause serious complications.
Effective results for vaginal relaxation syndrome could only be achieved through invasive surgical treatments such as anterior and posterior vaginal plastic surgery. There are many post-operative complications associated with these procedures and a relatively high degree of dissatisfaction with the results. The treatment options for atrophy due to menopause typically involve hormone therapy.
